Interested to visit a completed Leanhaus and meet the people who design and build them?
Perhaps you like the technical side and would like to see a Leanhaus under construction.
Here are some limited opportunities coming up.
Practical Passive House knowledge, tour completed homes, construction and design insights and more.
A home building boom fuelled by recent government grants and low interest rates has brought about some unexpected and unwelcome side effects. Leanhaus have put in place strategies to ensure that your build remains as affordable as possible.
Wood Fibre Insulation and Cladding is a high performance option for a modern sustainable home.
Unfortunately, the architectural homes you see published in magazines and awards programs are often a far cry from what’s practical, cost effective, energy efficient or even fit for purpose. Here are some of the most impractical design choices that can be found in these homes, and why you’ll never see them in a Leanhaus.
Whether you’re renovating or building new, choosing which architect to work with is a major decision. There are lots of options, all with different areas of expertise, styles and (possibly most significantly) prices. That’s why we’ve decided to write a quick blog on what it’s like to work with us. And who better to tell you than our previous clients.
As exciting as it is, building or renovating a home is a stressful process. Not only is it a big investment of both time and money, it’s also an investment into your future. That’s why it’s important that everyone involved is working hard ensure the project runs smoothly and efficiently, and ultimately results in a home that you’re happy with.
As the climate heats up, more and more people will be turning on the AC to keep cool. By 2050, up to two thirds of households globally will have an air conditioner, and unless the energy to power these is from sustainable sources, more and more greenhouse gas emissions will be generated which will in turn, contribute to more global warming.
But there is a way to design buildings to keep a comfortable interior environment with resorting to AC. Here are some of the strategies we deploy at Leanhaus.
Lean design and construction is, according to one definition, "a production management-based project delivery system emphasising the reliable and speedy delivery of value. It challenges the generally-accepted belief that there is always a trade-off between time, cost, quality and safety." At leanhaus, we seek to apply these ideas to the design and construction of homes and small buildings to make them more affordable, durable and comfortable. Here’s how we do it.
